Avery's Tangled Birthday Bash

I am a bit behind but hey....better late than never right :-)

On Avery's actual birthday (June 1st) we had a special 3rd birthday party for her.  In the morning on her birthday she was given the option to have whatever she wanted for breakfast (daddy's choice). That little stinker chose CAKE! Of course my little muffin doesn't even eat the cake...just the frosting. What a breakfast of champions...hahaha...I tell ya! After breakfast we ran a couple errands and then Madison had soccer. After a BUSY morning the party was about to start arriving!

 We invited just family and it was perfect! TJ grilled up some tasty hamburgers and brauts, salad, fruit, chips, beans and potato salad! For desert we had some delicious cake from Target.


Avery got so many special presents and was very spoiled. She was such a ham when opening them. She would get all excited for each and every gift...even clothes!!!!

Here are all the pictures that captured the day. Thank you to all that came out and well wishes on her special day. It means a lot to us.

Avery eating her cake for breakfast! As you can tell she is only eating the frosting! 

After the party in her princess jammies and reading one of her new books! She was in heaven! 

Happy 3rd Birthday Avery Elizabeth

3 years ago on June 1st, 2010 our little adorable Avy Baby was born! She came in to this world full of excitement and love! She is our baby and I can't believe she will be 3 years old in a few short hours.

Avery has grown to be such a smart, sassy, adorable, stinker, messy play in the dirt girl, girly, dramatic, and just so darn cute you can't be mad at her kind of girl.

Things to know about Avery:

• Weighs about 32-34lbs...she is our 'little peanut'. She has her actual 3 year check up on Monday so I will know the actual numbers. 
• Still doesn't pronounce her R's. To be honest, it is fricken adorable. I will be very sad when she starts to actually use the R's in words as that means my baby is growing up. 
• Is starting to resist taking naps. Yet in the early evening she starts to dose off out of no where...not tired my butt!  
• Loves to eat...well certain things. She loves her breakfast and lunch. She is a picky eater but starting to eat her vegetables. That is a huge accomplishment as she REFUSED and would gag. She does this weird thing that she will smell her food if she doesn't know what it is and that usually means she will not try it. 
• Loves her some crackers and chips...she takes after her mom :-)
• Loves, Loves and I mean LOVES her Little People Princesses, Rapunzel and Eugene dolls from the Disney Store, babies and anything to do with princesses. 
• Loves playing outside! She loves to get dirty and doesn't care at all. Now that it is rainy everyday and muddy that means baths are VERY frequent. 
• Is OBSESSED with telling people she has owies. I mean she will remember from months ago and tell people (strangers too). She likes the reaction people give to her. She usually needs a bandaid all the time for some type of owie on her body! 
• Is much more accepting to getting her hair done. Doesn't like to get her hair ruined when playing or getting dressed/undressed! She thinks pigtails make her run really fast...I just roll with it!
• Loves her daddy...blahhhhh...hahaha! I asked her the other day if she loved me and her response was, after daddy I will love you. At one point in her life she was OBSESSED with mommy :-)
• Is starting to make these goofy/weird poses when taking a picture....full of character that girl! 
• She is getting better at recognizing letters but it is my fault because I tend to forget that she is still a baby. OOPPS! 
• Avery will be starting her first year of preschool in the fall and she is VERY excited. I am however nervous because she hasn't been in a daycare since she was a baby. She sometimes forgets that other kids can share toys and play with her. We are working on that and will be a big adjustment soon. 
• Loves her sister! She wants to do everything with her...well most of the time. 
• Avery is just a lovable, sweet, caring, cuddly, happy girl and her mommy and daddy couldn't be more proud of how she is maturing and growing. We can't wait to watch her blossom! Happy Birthday to our little pumpkin!

Here are some pictures of Avery through out the last year! 

Garage Sale Season

My parents, grandparents and I put on a garage sale! Lets just say it went well and lots of work, but so much fun spending time with my family and socializing! 

Lets just say the girls had A LOT of clothes...sold quite a bit! It was sad to see some of the outfits go but knowing they will dress a cute little girl makes me happy! 

Officially a Soccer Mom

Madison had her first soccer practice on Friday and LOVED every second! She was so excited! TJ decided to coach her team and he did great! I can't wait for all the practices and games. When did my baby grow up?!?!? 

Mother's Day 2013

First I want to say Happy Mother's Day to all my mothers in my life! You all are loved and appreciated! 

I had a great day! TJ woke up with Lola and the girls and I slept till 6:20am...felt great! When I walked down stairs the girls immediately said Happy Mother's Day and gave me a beautiful card! The girls and TJ got me my dream gift a month ago...Pink Mixer! It is fantastic and love using it! Best gift...well next to becoming a mommy ;-) 

I hope everyone had a nice day! 

Easter 2013

Easter 2013 was a busy yet great day! We started our fabulous day by attending church with my grandparents, aunt, brother and mom. We had a nice brunch after church! After church, we went back to my moms house and the girls had a indoor egg hunt and loved it!

We went home and got ready for our next party. We had the Kvilhaug's over for a big feast! TJ and I took on the task of making the food! The menu was ham, cheesy potatoes, salad, bread and home made carrot cake! It was delicious! The girls were sooooooo tired, that for the first time in a LONG time they fell asleep on the couch! 

It was a great day of joy, family and faith! We are blessed with a great family! 

Cousin Zoo Time

I am a bit behind...trying to catch up so bare with me!!!!

Couple months ago TJ and I took the girls and their cousins to the MN Zoo! They had a great time! 

Happy 53rd Birthday to Papa Greg!

I want to say a special Happy Birthday to my dad/papa! I hope you have a great day.
The girls wanted to sing you a song.

There was a bit of jealousy but this is the girls for ya :-) OH and sorry for my horrible voice in the background!!!!
